What is Nuke? How CS:GO's Most Hated Map is Actually Good for the Game
Vložit
- čas přidán 8. 12. 2018
- Over the course of Counter-Strike’s history a number of maps have been immortalized for their tried-and-tested ability to be fair, enjoyable and sustainably competitive. Iconic combat zones like Inferno, Mirage, and of course Dust II.
And yet, for nearly two decades there has been a map held in far lesser regard. One that has been demonized above all others for the anxiety, frustration and controversy it has provoked - Nuke.

The secret of Astralis' success; they can play Nuke.

or because the are together so long, their communications are great...

so true... especially weaker teams should try to master nuke so they can actually ban their opponents strongest map instead of nuke plus maybe use it as surprise pick.
Now apparently ENCE can play Nuke as well.

@@ahmaddabous5740 it would actually be funny if you didn't misspell it.
Alot of teams in 1.6 loved nuke. Nuke was one of my old teams best map. I wonder why so many ppl don't like it in go
throughout cs's history, in css nuke became the map that most bhoppers got on. In esea back then, all you needed was a few good hops to rotate from marshmello to either A or Secret, or with a runboost you could get to catwalk instantly.
After in CS:GO, bhopping was slightly nerfed but nuke was still the same, until the 2 redesigns in 2016 and 2018 that made movement much easier and led it back to being a more CT sided map like in 1.6. if you want to see in terms of how bhoppers took advantage of nuke, check out FranzJ.
Bc the remaster sucks ass
The only thing that annoys me with nuke is that you're spending 1/3 of the match just walking from spawn to the sites.. So stupid that they're positioned so far away.
i love nuke
Cuz the more simple and boring the map is the less thinking u gotta make :") thats why alot of people either choose dust or inferno. They are simple and boring
"why's it gotta be tower" everyone who has played siege
Tower was a mistake. Change my mind.
Just here to say it's my favorite map
@@nanarchyn1137 say sike right now
Tub the absolute worst fucking map ever is villa. Nothing at all is good about it, not even one thing
Tower is rather fun its so vertical and its something that not every map has and still there is quite a good amount of horizontal play
welcome to the comment section where suddenly everyone loves nuke
ROFFLLLL
Because the video talks about how nuke was hated, of course the one who likes it/thinks it's fine gonna speak out
I actually like nuke
I still hate nuke with the fury of a thousand molotovs
People really be like "video is wrong because I love nuke". WELL FUNNY HOW 1 PERSON DOESN'T REPRESENT THE ENTIRE PLAYERBASE
I’m not even on the nuke bandwagon, I legit just love nuke for being different and very distinguished layout, overall it’s new and challenging for everyone, not in a negative way.
Bruh ik, everybody likes dust 2 but its way too simple and stupid
Its also in my opinion one of the best looking maps

you can't run a cs:go map? I feel like ima get whooshed right here
@@doomg9551 nope nuke just has a lot of things in it it lags sometimes for me too
A 1050 TI runs Nuke well. If you have a gaming PC worth more than £500 you should have no trouble running it. If you can't run Nuke then presumably you can't run Subzero and if you can't then that means you won't be able to run the new Cache either.
I can run any map 150fps on a work laptop lmao, any pc should run all maps at 60fps in low settings at 600*800

Was one of my favourite competitive maps back when I used to play at a high level way back in 2003. Didn't realise it was that unpopular?
davidheseltine85 It’s not
@@s--b considering it has the 2nd longest wait time in the competitive map pool, you definitely can't call it popular.
Then you remember ct used to win 14 rounds every half
@@emeraldcitycs6662 IT wasn't usually that unbalanced though, from memory. Long time ago now though...
davidheseltine85 before valve updated it and cut off half the rafters, it was easily the most ct sided map in the game

It was still one of most popular maps back then...
still is

“inhuman reactions” will never not give me goosebumps
The old nuke was fresh because it was so heavlily CT-sided, that it was really intense for T's to play, and if you got 4-5 rounds you could win the game, really interesting to have so much stakes on strats and executions. i miss old nuke

*I like it*
Looking forward to your next video on motorboating.
Sincerely, a fan.
I remember in a random server figuring out how to rush B through vents by using the orange door. Got the whole team to do it, and we just wrecked the CT's. Never seen it done in a pro game but with a clever smoke I think you could pull it off. Nuke is just so quirky it's great.
pro teams don't do it because they're gonna die
Perhaps there's a reason why pros don't do it :)
You're still gonna get bottlenecked at the door and at the vent, and I'm pretty sure CTs will get there first even if you rush it. Only time this will work in the pros is when the other team fails to anticipate it. Astralis actually did something similar a few times at the recent ESL tournament. It worked out for a few rounds.
Bro on mg+ ranks vent rush is suicide mission that you do when you have tried everything else
That's now been an Astralis favourite for pistol rounds, lately.
I remember back in 2013, Nuke was the only map you could win 14 rounds on CT, and the whole time your team would rage because it was a guaranteed loss 14-16.
Who came back to this video after ence Defeating Astralis on Nuke?
SiK me. Didnt expected that they got defeated on their map

lmaoo
Honestly as someone who doesn't play CS but does enjoy the pro scene Nuke is my favourite map to watch. I like the quick rotations and the vertical elements. Kinda unique in those regards. It seems more tactical than most maps. The classic maps people love seem a little more mechanical over tactical.
Franzj map! Franzj map!

One of your best vids yet, alternately hilarious and informative. It's beautiful how Astralis made the anathema csgo map an ace up their sleeve for 31-0! Looking forward to 'What is Motorboating? The Language Phenomenon' next week :P
Denmark = Nuke?????
For those players who plays nuke
You thought that the bomb was on A but actually its on B but u don't know, but the minimap is showing A and 10secs left then you realized that it was on B and lastly everyone on CT side kicks you.

Kaj og Andrea at the end killed me😂🤣
nah... racist..
Nuke used to be the only map me and my friends played (I checked on csgostats, ~90% of our rounds won were on Nuke), but we stopped playing when they remastered it. It was fun to play the old version because you would never play the same round twice, and the major advantage CTs had was fine - because if you won 4 rounds at halftime (11-4) starting as T you could quite easily secure a win. As for not knowing if the bomb was A or B, it was common to have the player on ramp check it.
11:38 Shout out to Kaj and Andrea. My childhood
3:50 lmao genious so relatable
0:58 lol talks about balanced maps then cuts to inferno
It is pretty balanced now in pro games, but yeah old school inferno not so much
@@darkrose8328 I'll be honest I haven't played CS since 2015 but I remember it being very CT sided
@@bones6978 it was very CT sided, but after the new inferno came out, it is now a pretty balanced map. Only thing now is, if you don't have any utility at all, you're going to have a very "lovely" time. No side discrimination.
I think inferno is pretty balanced. Both teams give a tough competition to each other.(most of the time.)

Nuke is my favorite map idk why, the map is just so much different from the others maps that I usually play like Inferno, Mirage, D2 and Vertigo, but Nuke is different in a positive way, seems like Nuke is just way more fun than the other maps

nuke is better
Nuke is one of my favorite maps lol it doesn’t make me anxious at all it seems like that the only people who play it are people who just play for fun
i recently played csgo again and the first map was nuke, i never hated nuke, just disliked being on it. but i had a really fun time. i had teammates who very encouraging and helped me get back into csgo and because of just the fun i had on it. nuke makes a little happy because i think of the awesome dudes who were nice and patient with me even if i did accidentally shoot them multiple times cause i forgot how to turn on my hud
I like nuke, although its one of my least picked maps in matchmaking. However it was the first map I played on, so it holds a special place in my heart
old nuke used to be everyones favourite map, wdym it's hated?
This new one was fine
Nuke 1.6 was the best
I liked it in 1.6 but never play it in csgo
The real question is
Did the CT with PP-Bizon defused the bomb ?
i always loved pretty much all iterations of Nuke, ive been playing cs since 2000
I absolutely love Nuke, I feel bad because I often subject my friends to play it. If you know the map and how to actually play you know where people go when you can get really nice plays, it also helps that people don’t know nuke so you can take advantage of that

@@animalcollection6969 why?
I always loved nuke. Yes in the early days T side was a joke, but that map really leys players be creative when taking sites. Its really fun to just confuse the crap out of people.
I have always loved Nuke. I was IGL for my teams throughout 1.6 for Cal-o, Cal-im, and Cal-m. We ALWAYS dominated on maps where strategy is key. Nuke was a map where the other team was always confused when they played against us. I remember we scrimmed against Rival right after they played SK in CPL, the Mill match in triple overtime, and we actually BEAT Rival. I know it's not a competitive match and it was just a scrim, but it was important to my team. We were only cal-im at the time and beat one of the best teams in the world in a dominant fashion.
I HATE playing nuke in Pugs, but when we had our team I loved it. Our team had a core 3 players that always played together and we just flowed.
Nuke, Train, Mill, Fire, Aztec, Cbble, Comrade 3rd Route we ALWAYS dominated on. Dust2 and Inferno were the maps that were unpredictable for us always. We did play against TAG when they got demoted to cal-im from cal-p for using ringers. We won 16-14 and they disputed us, saying we cheated and that was one of the toughest matches we ever played.
Man I loved CS. I just got GO about a week ago, hadn't played any games since 2006. I really like cs go..
